WORLD LOSING FAITH
IN LIBERALISM, SAYS
ERDINAND
SCHEVILL
Talk at Convocation Op
Annual Convention of
History Teachers. .
Pointing to the remarkable rise
of European dictatorships since the
war, Dr. Ferdinand Schevill ex
pressed the belief that the world
wr.s losing faith in liberalism, in
his address before an all university
convocation at the Temple theater
Friday, which officially opened the
twenty-first annual convention of
the Nebraska History Teachers as
sociation.
in hi talk. "Mussolini and Fas
iam " the sneaker declared that
the peace signed after the world
war was only a dusk . oenina
which the war has been continuing
for the past fifteen year. Refer-
ing to the disputes over repara
tions, debts, boundaries and dis
armament, he said that the na
tions must come to an agreement
if they expect 10 ena me repres
sion. "In meeting the crises dictator
ships have risen to power," de
clared Dr. Schevill in pointing out
the example of Italy and Germany.
Spirit Reflected Here.
"The spirit is even being re
rwtp,i in our own lands." he ex
plained, "for since the fourth of
March we have seen a great gov
ernmental change. Congress has
given extraordinary dictatorial
powers to President Roosevelt"
Dr. Schevill criticized the na
tions of the world for their "Chinese-like-
tariff barriers, stating
that it was only drying up tlie na
tural flow of trade between count
ries. 'As Mr. MacDonald said in
Washington the other day, it is
the nations last chance to do some
thing about these perplexing prob
lems. Unless an agreement is
reached, the question of fascism
and dictatorships of a like nature
will become pressing."

Jesse Cecil Is in Charge
Of Work for Annual
Affair.
Students in the electrical depart

will erect the campus structure for
Engineers' week according to
George Swatek, general chairman
for the affair. Jesse Cecil will be
in charge of the work on the
structure which consists of a
photo-electric device for separat
ing white from black balls and a
novel three-way sign.
In using the photo-electric de
vice, balls roll down a chute and
pass under an intense light. A
photo-electric cell is locatea near
the light. These cells are sensitive
to lieht and act like "electric
eyes." When a white ball passes
thru, sufficient tight is reflected
on the cell to operate it and cause
the current to flow. This current
is then amplified and made more
positive in its action by means of
amplifier tube and a thyrotron
tube.
Current Operates Plunger.
This amplified current is then
fed into a solenoid which operates
a plunger and pushes the white
balls off into another chute. Black
balls do not reflect enought light
